There are two reasons to set an Area Defense order to guard Naval Bases in a controlled area that has no ports. This order will not result in troops being moved by the AI, since there are no Naval Bases or ports in the designated guard area. The units are free for micro. The first reason to do this is to gain points toward the passive trait Organizer so we can later select the trait Logistics Wizard on a field marshal. Second, we can also assign a front line using the field marshal. Divisions will gain planning bonus without being moved by the AI. I may not have used that feature on this run.
Thank you for making my wish 👌👍✔! I have tried this many times on historical focus but I always end with me vs allies and I have not had enough troops to win against them. They were holding some capitals needed to this achievement. Germany is so weak ... how is that possible? Non historical focus?
My pleasure! The run was a blast! The Allies and Germany are weak because we are attacking in 1937. Russia starts with many military factories and the largest army. It can take on the other major countries before they have time to get stronger. Even on historical focuses, Russia can start its expansion immediately after the civil war concludes. Instead of attacking after the civil war, you could also choose to build up for a few years. Russia has a powerful economy. On historical, five of the six states for the achievement will be held by the Axis later in the game. It may be a good plan to attack Turkey, as the only non-Axis state, in 1936 before the civil war. Then wait for Germany to take Austria and Czechoslovakia, and Hungary and Bulgaria to join the Axis. You would not need to go to war with the Allies. The Allies would also be at war with the Axis.
@@friendlycat4170 It is not working for me. Japanese shogunate smash me after civil war on non historical and I am too weak to do something about that. I tried 2 times today but zero success. This achievement is my personal hell.
@@asgardplays7139 That is rough! I've had bad runs on non historical as well. I know you can do this! Maybe give it a try on historical. Japan will not attack you. First take Turkey and Romania. Then win your civil war. You can attack everyone in 1937 or early 1938, or instead build up for a few years and wait for Germany to attack you 1941.
@@friendlycat4170 I have tried that and I have won the war but Hungary has not been in peace conference so I could not take that so allies have that. I was so disappointed I have deleted the game cos I don't understand why Hungary has not been there and I can't beat allies on my own...Thank you for strategy anyway 🙂!
Thanks legend, love these videos
My pleasure, I am glad you enjoy them!
I have a question, i didn't really see when did you start justyfying against turkey, is it from the moment you can?
You are correct!
Why do you use the defensive order on your armies while microing them? Never tried that, I usually just unassign them

Can you take over Hungary as Australia? I’m having a pig of a time.
That sounds like fun. I think you're talking about the achievement Australia-Hungary. It may be a bit before I get to it.
It's done! Here is the link to the video guide: th-cam.com/video/KOpD75Q3UvQ/w-d-xo.html
